God Relates To Us

God is the God of all people, and what He was doing that first Christmas was for all people. He did not come to the mighty, the powerful, or the “religiously superior,” but He drew foreigners known as the Magi to come to worship Him and the poor unseen shepherds. Even in the people God chose to include in the celebration of His coming, He showed us His heart and character. God is with Us even when we feel outcast and marginalized. The story of Christmas brings hope for each one of us.

How do we respond to God when He does things that confuse us? Let’s be honest, God’s ways are mysterious, but we can discover how to discern what God is doing. The story of Joseph helps us learn how to walk by faith and trust the character of God revealed in the Scriptures when we aren’t sure what is going on in our world.

Mary loved God and was faithful to God. God honored her faithfulness and he also honors our faithfulness. When we are willing to let God lead us into uncomfortable situations, He begins to trust us with more and more. What will you let Him lead you through?
